FANTASTIC TOPIC! This is very dependent on handicap level. Shot dispersion will be immensely different from player to player/club to club. DECADE Program - Shout out to Scott Fawcett: This program goes into detail on shot dispersion and where to aim. Takes into account each individual shot pattern, trouble, distance etc. I would HIGHLY recommend this program for anybody looking to shoot better scores. Even if you don't buy the program, understanding how it works will help golfers lower scores. I've been using DECADE for a couple years now and I absolutely live for it. I can answer any questions you guys may have about it as well!

Good morning! I've been on the forums for some time now, but I've never introduced myself here! How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I've been playing golf for about 9 years now consistently. I've gotten my handicap down to a +2 with an average score between 72 and 73! Non stop grind! What do you love about golf? Golf is incredibly challenging and frustrating. Its the one thing I can still do and be competitive in nature! What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I've been in the Spy world for a few years now, I found it randomly on social media. I've yet to meet any other spies, but have friends that I've hooked up to the forums! Where are you from? What is your home course? Washington Missouri and Franklin County Country Club What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The WORST thing is easy: Winter/Spring can be very challenging weather and for the course. The BEST thing: Fall weather! What do you do for a living? I'm a Math teacher and Golf Coach ! How’d you pick your user name? First/Last name combo!

Just want to follow up here quickly and show some love to the awesome replies! This community always comes thru !! Everybody that responded had some fantastic questions and possible solutions to my current issues! I'll be working on some of these things and will hopefully find a ball flight that is in play more often! Some great setup things and small tweaks to different part of the swings! I replied to some but not all of the responses, I am taking all of the replies into my brain of thoughts haha! THANK YOU EVERYBODY!

I picked up golf extremely late in life. starting the kid young. How’s he lookin? !

We take a guys golf trip at the beginning of every summer. Last year, had one of the best weekends in terms of golf...and gambling of course. I holed out 4 times in that stretch. One of these being my first hole in one from 195 yards! Myself and 3 others played 36 on that Saturday when I made it, so I didn't have to buy drinks for an entire group either! Lucky as can be!!

Love this response man! Appreciate it. My misses are almost always toe side with the big dog. I agree that it comes down to club face control. My question is, how do I fix these issues you brought up? Most coaches have identified those things you mentioned. What drills/feels etc can I use or practice to fix any of those things? I'm willing to put in all the practice time to work on whatever I need to. I wasn't able to see the pictures you hinted at, but I do know exactly what you are talking about on each metric. I'll get a face on video today.

My driver can be literally off the planet. I'm in the woods 50%+ of the time when its going bad. I was tracking strokes gained with DECADE last season, but I haven't bought it this season. I expect, to have a shot at the green the majority of the time haha. I don't need to hit a ton of fairways, with my length I just want it in play. My numbers on trackman are typically between -1 and 1 swing path. 0 to +3 attack angle. So pretty good numbers on those. I guess it comes down to clubface control which can be extremely closed or open at any given time. @RickyBobby_PR just posted another response with some comments on the swing that are widely similar to what I hear from coaches. I guess my question is, how do I fix it? haha

Hold on tight, and buckle up… I’m in need of HELP. DRIVER ISSUES Background: + Handicap, competing in high level amateur events. I’ve ALWAYS struggled with driver. I’ve taken multiple lessons in person, some online lessons with McCormicks/Yarwoods of the world, tried different methods of practice/drills etc. and I just can’t be consistent. I have rounds where it’s great, and rounds where it’s average. First: Here’s a recent video from this winter/spring. Anything stand out? (I’ll read anybody and everybody’s opinion I don’t care) Second: Playing the Callaway TD w/ Ventus Blue TR 6X at 120-125 mph clubhead. I’ll try some other things: anything to keep it in play with decent spin. Most “forgiving” or max models spin to the moon. sincerely: desperate person IMG_0033.mov

This would be my take on music: 1. Music should be kept at a level that doesn't disturb play a few holes over. IF everybody in your 4some is good with music, great! Keep it respectable. 2. If tee boxes/greens coincide within a small range, do you turn it down for other members? Again, seems respectable to others to not distract when necessary. 3. Are kids around with music including explicit language? Again, keeping it respectable for all parties.

Is it too early to call it for Aberg to win?

Got a great lesson today. Started with some setup issues I didn't realize I was having, which help sort through some of the ball flight problems I was having. Especially with the driver.

Can't wait to see these reviews!

I have some questions that I haven't been able to find the answers on my own, as I don't have the equipment or devices to correctly measure any of this. I'm looking for any opinions or insight you guys may have! (Right or wrong I don't care, just want to hear others thoughts) My numbers are from indoor trackman and outdoor GCQuad. I'm currently gaming a 42.25 Ventus Blue TR 7x in my Stealth Plus+ 3 wood. (Don't know length with the head on.) I have the upmost confidence in this club. Strike, dispersion, speeds have all seemed great. Club speed is between 115 and 120, ball speeds in the 170's and carry's between 290-300. Here is my issue and the reason for this post.. My driver shaft is a 44 inch Ventus Blue TR 6x with a callaway Paradym Triple Diamond. (Don't know length with the head on.) Club Speeds between 120 and 130, ball speeds are high 170's to low 180's. Dispersion is not great and I honestly feel like my driver carry's or rolls out just as far. Is my swing weight messed up with a 44 inch shaft? I have all the confidence in the world standing over the ball with a 3 wood, and absolutely zero standing over the driver. Strike could be way off the toe, might flare it out to the right or toe hook it. Shaft length? Swing weight? Just suck with driver? Send help

I recently bought the stack system for the cold off season here in Missouri. Did my first baseline session with the results shown below. I am interested in seeing the results after the training sessions it gives me. It suggest I do the Foundation Speed program. Excited to get started and start building for next season. Should I post updated sessions or wait a few sessions to post the progress? For those of you that have tried TheStack, what results have you seen? Any tips/tricks with the programs I should know? #SpeedSZN
